The show's pleasure came less from its story and more from its presence, a tableau of sighing silk gowns and airy drawing rooms. The crossover hit retreated back into its shell, a mainstay only for anglophiles and period drama enthusiasts. Go to Full Review Gail Pennington St. Louis Post-Dispatch 07/01/2016
When did you choke up? For me, it was when Lady Mary said to Carson, "You know how dear you are to me." But other scenes, including the very last one, were also sniffle-inducing. Go to Full Review Verne Gay Newsday 07/01/2016

The finale is also a forceful and bittersweet reminder of something else that made 'Downton' so special. It embraced values... constancy, faith, charity, grace and compassion toward one's fellow man and woman. Go to Full Review Jane Bowron The Post NZ 06/14/2017
